Just marathoned this and want to say I'm impressed with how you've handled the development of the mc's character. Of course I also love the development of all the Love Interests through the play of the VN. Haven't seen a lot of the original and none featuring Senior and Junior as the villain of the week, so I'm not sure how much of the revealed character is original, your spin on it, or my pursuit of mostly love routes, but I find him one of the least evil supervillains I've seen. Of course he's manipulative as hell but it appears his agenda may be changing as the girls reawaken some of the fire of his first youth. Leaving the "SV" label aside, his persona absolutely fits that of an oligarch forced to mingle among the common folk to achieve his twisted aim but being changed in the process, developing feelings that blend affection, paternalism, and dominance. That's tough to do in any genre. Eagerly awaiting the next installment.
